Howdy! This is a great alternative to GPU mining, for those that don't have the technical knowledge or know-how to mine coins. But this post belongs in the Micro Earnings section; you may have more luck getting better responses and the right audience for you to get more users. To move your topic, scroll to the bottom left of the page, and click on "move topic".

Cheers, and good luck with your endeavor!

The site is extremely simple. Some graphics would be nice on the homepage, but don't overdo it with 'em.

Your reviews are by far the best I've seen on the web; keep it up! However, maybe an excerpt at the top with a brief overview of your ratings and review? Something simple for the lazy folks so they don't have to read the whole review or scroll all the way down. Perhaps move the "Advantages" and "Disadvantages" towards the top of the pages?

And then a side-by-side comparison chart/list would be great, as well. If you're able to program it so that a user can select some wallets (maybe up to 3 at a time) that they can see the side-by-side's, that would be a great feature to include.

Overall, great idea, and great reviews! And why not monetize your site? I wouldn't mind having your content broken up by a couple of ads here and there

I'm not worried about the price at all, but I appreciate the gesture. It's just that I've seen my share of fly-by-night sellers here, some even with some established trust that just got in over their heads having to constantly replace accounts. I actually couldn't care less about $8; I care more about getting a product as advertised and where the seller won't disappear in a couple of months time. You'd be surprised at how many "lifetime" and 12-month Netflix and Hulu and VPN accounts that I've bought from these forums where NONE of the services lasted more than 3 months before the seller just disappeared.

I guess I just don't want to see that happening to you; you seem like a nice dude. Like I said, you're attitude is already much better than the sellers I've dealt with in the past.

If you're interested in someone vouching for your product, I can also do that. But be warned that I will be brutally honest with what I encounter. I will outline any issues with the accounts, and the frequency in which they get disabled, but I will also relay the ways in which you rectify the problems, if any arise. If this is something you'd like, I will gladly be the guinea pig for you. Either a free vouch copy, or I'll gladly pay for it. I just don't want to have to go through the trouble of having to constantly replace credentials for the service

Let me know.

Lol @ the Mr. Robot reference!

In a nutshell, you should consider creating a SegWit-enabled address and start using it to transact bitcoins. I've sent several super-low transaction fees for my past several payments, mainly to test the network... And they've all cleared within the first few blocks after initiating the transactions.

As SegWit-enabled wallets become more commonly adopted by Bitcoin users, it should help with the network congestion. While the effects are pretty minuscule now, I can only imagine what would happen if the large exchanges like Coinbase and Bitfinex and Binance were to implement SegWit wallets...

As far as how "dead" it is as a currency? I pay my rent monthly with Bitcoin. I top up my phone with Bitcoin. I purchase food at restaurants (locally here in Belize, of all places) with Bitcoin. I use it on a regular basis, so I don't know about you, but I'm using Bitcoin as it was originally intended. Yes, I absolutely believe that the fees can and should be lower, but I assure you that it is alive and well, my friend.

Oh, and welcome back to the forums. Congrats on your new find!

What kind of guarantee are you providing? Sorry, but as a Newbie, your word doesn't mean much here on the forums. I do appreciate your honesty and explanation, which is much more than other new sellers provide. Bump this thread in a week or two after you've established some more credibility and some vouches, and I'll gladly buy a 12-month account from you. Does the year start with the purchase of the account, or does it expire when the main account's terms expire?

Just as a reference, I have bookmarked this topic for the sole purpose of how not to run a successful signature campaign. How did you even get hired for this project? SMH

That, and you're obviously looking for participants to promote a pump and dump. I'm surprised they didn't all get red-tagged, as well. This type of shit doesn't belong on the forums here. Just sayin'.

Thanks for sharing this. I'm hoping to keep threads like this bumped so that more newbies will come across it.

I also recently posted a video of similar nature, and hope that you guys take a look at it, as well: BITCOIN CRASH EXPLAINED BY BITCOIN MILLIONAIRE

I think it's important to share things like this, as education is one of the most important tools for the success of Bitcoin. It helps eliminate fud, which in turn will help to minimize a lot of the panic amongst (especially the) newer members of the forums. Again, thanks for sharing!

Be careful when transacting on LocalBitcoins.com for PayPal. I used to be a proponent of this method, as most buyers will give you 10-20% above the value to buy Bitcoin, but I have recently been charged back on two transactions. When looking for a buyer on LBC, make sure to thoroughly go through their feedback. You're looking for two things:

1. Make sure that there are no large gaps in the feedback. If there is a gap between trades, it is possible that the account was a dormant one that the original user has sold. They've lost the need for the account, and there are plenty of untrustworthy scammers that offer a good amount of money for accounts with positive feedback so that they can scam users.
2. Red trust. Filter the feedback by negative feedback, and see why the seller has left it. If it is for anything related to a digital transaction, then don't even consider selling to that buyer.

If you are planning on selling your Bitcoin on LBC, here is my recommendation: ONLY LOOK FOR BUYERS THAT HAVE 1000+ HIGH-VOLUME TRADES WITH OVER 98% GREEN REPUTATION.

You're going to be tempted to sell to the buyer that is offering 20% above true value so you can make a few bucks more than other trades, but for me, I only sell to 1000+ feedback accounts with no gaps in their trading history.

Other than that, if you're looking for an extremely reputable buyer, check out zazarb's thread right here on the forums. I've personally done multiple transactions with him, and his fees are reasonable: [SELLING-BUYING BTC @preev+-%] Okpay, PM, Payeer,PP & Escrow service

While I agree that there isn't much that can be said or done to help someone understand the nature of the volatility of crypto, I do believe that we can do our part in helping minimize the chaos by pointing newbs in the right direction and share relevant information to support this. I, personally, have never FOMO'd since my initial purchase, and part of that reason was because of these forums and the connections I've made from them. These influences helped guide me and show me articles about the nature of bitcoin; they even went as far as to reassure me that even though prices will drop, they are likely to bounce back. I'm glad I listened to them.

This topic isn't directed to users like you and me; we're at the point of the game now to where panic isn't even in our vocabulary when it comes to the dips and valleys... But more so the new investors to Bitcoin. The ones that likely saw a news article or segment about Bitcoin during the pump in Nov/Dec who are now listening to the news about how this is the bubble bursting... They don't have very much reference to years past, and I'm just trying to provide them with some reassurance here on the boards amongst the chaos of FUD that a lot of us higher-ranked members have come to subconsciously ignore.

Even if one person sees this post, watches the video, and decides not to panic-sell, or even post a repeated question like "will bitcoin ever bounce back", I'll be assured that I've made an impact on at least that one person. Education is one of the most important proponents to cryptocurrency, and I feel that you can never have too much of it.

A quick google search will yield a lot of results for the variety of faucets available for a bunch of coins. But like others have stated, unless you plan on living off the referrals (and we're talking thousands of them), faucets are not a great way to earn bitcoin. If you're looking to get your feet wet and learn about Bitcoin, be careful... Bitcoin transaction fees are based on the size of the transactions, and because of the small micropayment nature of payments from faucets, you're looking at racking up inputs from all of the payments once you try to spend the Bitcoin that you earn from them. This will, in turn, cause your transaction size to become bigger which requires a higher fee to be able to send the payment.

An alternative would be to looking into joining bounties and signature campaigns here on the forums. Look in the services section, maintain a clean account, but most importantly, do your research about Bitcoin and cryptocurrency technology and start contributing to healthy conversations here on the forums. PLEASE don't become a shitposter; we already have hundreds of them on the forums.

Hey Morty Yellow, you should consider deleting your old bumps from the thread, so that you can keep it clean. And to follow the rules of bumping a thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3629.msg5541656#msg5541656


Oh, and I didn't forget about you; I still plan on updating this thread with the account that you have sent as a vouch copy, so stay tuned for that.

How much management is necessary on my part regarding API's of the credit providers? Do I have to maintain a relationship with the providers, or is that all handled on a 3rd-party level? If I set a 20% fee along with the top-up amount, how much of that 20% fee do I get to keep, and how much do I have to split? And are you just providing the code, or do you have hosting available, as well?


I would imagine that this service is good for anyone with marketing and search engine optimization skills. I'm actually interested to see if I can use this to provide some kind of residual income.

Same. The last 12-month account I purchased from someone with a "Lifetime Warranty" stopped working after 2 weeks. As @Dided1981 mentioned, if these are accounts where I can "own" the credentials (not a shared account), then I'd gladly purchase a 12-month plan.

Edit: Received a vouch copy for ExpressVPN from OP

There's just one flaw in your example: Who bought from Buyer B? Yes, Buyer A and Buyer B made profits, but in order for that to happen, there has to be a Buyer C (or D, E, F, etc.). Not all sellers will profit, as we all know that somebody that FOMO'd at $20k and then panic-sold at $10k, but that's just the nature of the game. And yes, this can absolutely be true in theory AND the real world. A prime example of this happening on a day-to-day basis? The stock market.

First of all, please don't give financial advice. I know you're just stating your opinion, but when you "tell" people what to (or not to) do, it's a form of advice that contributes to the very delusion that you referenced in your reply. I, personally, don't consider this downtrend a "gamble"; I've taken the opportunity to buy the dip at a firesale when Bitcoin was in the $6k's a few days ago.

Just please refrain from giving financial advice again in the future. Sorry to pick on you, but I figure one person at a time, and it could help stop the false hysteria that's being associated with Bitcoin. Cheers!

Thanks for linking that thread; it's the first time I've seen it.

However, @fognoir has reintroduced us to some more common abbreviations that are currently being used that aren't included in the original post that you've referenced.

@fognoir, great post and great idea! I learned something new from it (BTFD). Just a tip: maybe use each of them in a sentence so it's easier for the newbs to understand?

Hello all,

I had to purchase a Pro Account on TwitterAudit.com in order to purge a bunch of fake followers (or whatever TwitterAudit viewed as being fake), and I forgot about this pro account until now. It expires on February 28, so I'm willing to re-audit your account for free. I can only re-audit accounts with up to 10,000 followers, and if you have less than 50 followers, please don't waste my time with a re-audit request

I don't expect a follow in return for the audit, but if you choose to follow my Twitter, my username is @FreeBTCExpert. I post a bunch of basic informational and humorous things on occasion.

Leave your Twitter handle below and I'll re-audit it for you.

Many of you are probably new to Bitcoin, and are asking yourself "will Bitcoin bounce back?" or "is the bitcoin craze over?". If this is you, I implore you to watch this 16-minute video. Don't trust the mainstream media. The video, by Bitcoin millionaire Christopher Greene, is a great perspective about the current "crash/bubble" (as the media calls it), and how it relates to recent financial incidents that were skewed by the media in the last decade or so.

Yes, the video is a shill for his services and seminars, but it has some great information that you should all listen to in order to understand what is happening with Bitcoin now.

BITCOIN CRASH EXPLAINED BY BITCOIN MILLIONAIRE

Now that you're armed with a few more facts, and some more information, please help do your part and stop spreading misinformation or contribute to mass hysteria by asking questions like "will the price of bitcoin rise again?" throughout the forums.

Watch the video, please, before commenting. Cheers.

Because they are privy to believe what mainstream media says. We've heard this before in many other aspects of economy. During the economic downfall of the mid-2000's, President Bush called this the beginning of the end of the world. Remember when JP Morgan Chase needed a bailout?

Most of the financial "analysts" that are naysaying cryptocurrency have no idea about the technology behind it. Bitcoin isn't valuable solely because it's this awesome decentralized currency that allows you to send millions of dollars across the world in an instant... It's valuable because of the blockchain and the transparent nature of the public ledger and how secure it is.

Now, specifically regarding Tulip Mania... What the hell are you going to do with a tulip? What function does it serve in the long term? Now compare that to the operative upside to Bitcoin, which actually serves a purpose. Bitcoin's success doesn't rely on new investors coming into the market. It is (near) sustainable as its own currency, and whether new investors are introduced to Bitcoin or not, it will still function according to its original purpose: a peer-to-peer decentralized currency with some amazing technology.

Don't believe the mainstream hype and what you read on the news. They simply don't understand the true value of Bitcoin, which has very little do with the financial gains/losses of it.

This is no different than the way that the stock market operates. People buy and sell all the time, some at a profit, some at a loss. So while you are technically profiting from someone's loss, let's not forget that new bitcoins are being mined on a regular basis. While the cap maximum supply is limited, that hasn't been reached yet, so the circulating supply is growing on a daily basis.

I think this is what people want to believe as a "scam" when they hear about Bitcoin. That in order for you to profit, you have to sell for more than what you bought for. Here's the thing, and why I'm able to sleep at night playing the crypto market: I don't prey on new buyers. I don't make them pull the trigger in deciding when or what to buy. Just as in the stock market, buyers should do their due diligence and invest only what they believe is a good investment for them. Nobody is forcing these buyers to make their investments. So just as I think that it's a great thing that I bought in at $200, some new investors might think it's great that they are buying in now at $8k.
